Most of the women featured on the Happy Black Woman podcast are businesswomen; entrepreneurs who are building their dreams through a successful company. Today’s guest is a bit different. Rebecca Thompson is fulfilling her life-calling by championing a cause: black women in politics. Rebecca’s determination and spirit are a powerful demonstration of what can happen when black woman get energized toward public office. You will be inspired and encouraged - possibly even motivated to get involved in your community's politics - by listening to this episode of the podcast. The face of power tends to be male and it tends to be white. If you haven’t noticed how things are in this world, the faces of power tend to be male and they tend to be white. There’s nothing wrong with that - anyone can be an elected leader in the United States if they truly have the heart to serve the people. But those two facts do show us that the black community, and black women in particular, are underrepresented among the elected officials who have so much power in determining the course of our communities and nation. Rebecca’s realization of that fact is part of what motivated her to run for office and help other black women learn the skills needed to run for office in their jurisdictions. If you want to run for office you need to be clear about WHY you are doing it. There are many reasons you may want to run for office. But if you’re going to put yourself and your family into the public eye in that way you need to be clear on exactly WHY you are doing it. Rebecca Thompson says it’s essential because you will run into moments where it doesn’t seem that what you’re doing is worth it. Opponents will falsely accuse you. You will be slandered. The press will have unreasonable questions and demands. How are you going to persevere if that’s the case? You’ll do it by having a clear sense of WHY. Rebecca Thompson is Rosetta’s guest on this episode of Happy Black Woman. You don’t have to know how you’re going to raise the money. One of the major hurdles you’ll have to get past if you are going to run for elected office is the issue of money. You will need money to run a successful campaign - a LOT of it. How are you going to raise money if you don’t feel that you have a public persona already? Rebecca Thompson was in those exact shoes when she decided to run for office and her approach was much more successful than you might think it would be for a first-time candidate. Rebecca shares her fundraising strategy and tells the results of her demanding and powerful campaign, on this episode. What is your freedom worth to you? When Rosetta asked Rebecca Thompson about the ways she keeps herself on track in the midst of a busy life Rebecca said that she has to remind herself first of all that she’s working to maintain her own freedom. When that’s clear in her mind she has to ask herself a simple question and give an honest answer. “What is my freedom worth?” Is it worth missing a favorite TV show because she needs to work on an important project? Is it worth going to bed late or rising early? Those are the kinds of questions anyone has to ask themselves if they want a better life than they have - or if they want to make an impact like Rebecca does by encouraging black women in politics. You can hear Rebecca’s inspiring story on this episode. Outline of this great episode [0:30] Rosetta’s introduction to Rebecca Thompson, host of the Changing the Face of Power podcast.

Session 224 It was definitely not an easy ride for Dr. Rebecca Lopez as she had to stumble upon major challenges along her journey to becoming a physician. Talk about having her first child at 15 years old, surviving a divorce, working and raising three kids while attending community college, and transitioning to a university setting, not to mention a few moments of self-doubt and resistance from people who questioned her potential. But Rebecca never gave up because she knew she had it in her. She kept going and made it a point to find a strong support system from family and friends. Having graduated from medical school and now working as an intern, Dr. Lopez tells an inspiring story of empowerment, determination, and living your passions. [2:36] Rebecca’s Early Years and Exposure to Healthcare Ever since she was a little girl, Rebecca has been fascinated by science. Specifically during her fifth grade, she saw a movie about how the body changes and that stuck with her since. She also realized how much she has always enjoyed helping people. Although it also inspired her to become a doctor later on, becoming a teenage mom has changed her course. Being a doctor was a mystical career aspiration for her since she didn't know anyone in healthcare except for her mom who was a dentist. She clearly had no idea how to get from point A to point B. After she had children, she decided to go to a community college and tapped into one of the school's career path pipeline programs where she had someone to literally guide her each semester. [7:02] A Sense of Empowerment After a Rocky Relationship When she had her first child at 15 years old, which was obviously a life-changing moment for her, Rebecca had to put her dream of becoming a doctor on the back-burner. After finishing high school, she took a medical assistant course and briefly worked as a medical assistant. Rebecca felt some sense of liberation and empowerment after getting a divorce with the father of her children that she felt like she had to reach her full potential she had within. So she got back to community college and started from there. Rebecca expressed her gratitude for her mentors who have helped her in every step of her way to medical school. [9:30] Dealing with Resistance for Being a Single Mom It was during a summer program in her sophomore year of college that her advisor talked to her about figuring out a Plan B and this crushed her belief and confidence in herself. But she did some soul-searching, picked herself back up, pushed forward, and never gave up. At that time, she leaned on her best friend for support and sound advice. [11:50] Does Going to a Community College Hurt Your Chances of Getting into Medical School? Even without any prior research about community college and its chances of getting to medical school, Rebecca had a favorable experience going to a community college. She recalled having access to great resources and having an intimate class size. Additionally, she thought that although going to a community college is not for everyone, it still is a great option that people don't explore enough. [13:20] From Community College to University Realizing that community college could only get her so far, she worked very hard to maintain a very good GPA and took some student government leadership roles which she was able to carry over to the university. Rebecca finally finished her community college courses after three and a half years, a period longer than average since she had to take care of her three kids and work at the same time. She then transferred to a university and found a lot of encouragement. Rebecca shares the differences between community college classes and university classes. First, she wasn't used to being graded on a curve so she had to adjust the way she studied. Second, she had to commute a lot further to her new school which was something she had to factor in being a mom. [17:12] Collaboration, Not Competition During moments when Rebecca had to re-evaluate what she was doing and whether it was all worth it, she did more soul-searching and she surrounded herself with premed friends. Having that network around her kept her going because she knew she had available resource whenever she needed it. Rebecca reached out to people from student government and clubs she was affiliated to and they found ways to study together. Rebecca and her best friend (who also has three kids and is currently 4th year in med school) have always been together throughout this journey. [19:50] Applying to Medical School Considering how moving to another state would be a big change for her and her kids, Rebecca decided to apply to a local medical school. She also applied to a few out-of-state schools to keep her options open but she made sure she explained the whole process to her kids (ages 14, 8, and 4) for them to understand and support her. Rebecca knew that the question about handling the demands of medical school and having children would often come up during interviews so this was something she definitely prepared for. She found a support system in her sister who came to live with her right before medical school started. Nevertheless, Rebecca still made an effort to be home to cook dinner and study with her kids whenever she can. [23:08] Dealing with Mom Guilt Rebecca’s biggest challenge was dealing with the mom guilt of not being able to be there for every single moment of her kids’ lives. So she had to put things in perspective. As with her kids, Rebecca felt it was rewarding to hear her teens telling people how proud they are of her and how inspirational it is for them. Rebecca always makes it a point to tell her kids stories about the positive things of being a doctor and how rewarding it is. [28:05] Living the Dream Having graduated from medical school, the most rewarding thing for her was being able to pursue her potential and her calling to have a positive impact on patients' lives. Right now, she is definitely living her dream job. In the future, Rebecca hopes to run a center for teenage parents, which was actually something she did a project on back in medical school. She hopes to be able to build a resource center for the healthcare and educational needs of teenage parents. She believes people give up on their dreams way too early and she wants to be that mentor she needed at that time to pursue her dreams. [29:39} Rebecca's Final Words of Wisdom Do not give up. Tap into your potential and realize there are so many resources. The number of resources are growing everyday to help you reach your potential and to help you succeed in anything you want to do.

My guest is Rebecca Kay Thompson of RKT Wellness Solutions. She’s a lifestyle and wellness coach who brings a holistic approach to solving a broad spectrum of challenges, from health and wellness to relationship coaching, personal finance, and home/office organization. Her honest and practical coaching style helps her clients become proactive in maintaining a fulfilling life of whole wellness. Rebecca emphasizes the simple question, “What does wellness mean to YOU?” This allows her clients to look at the big picture, break down shortfalls, and then focus on improvement. Rebecca has a bachelor’s degree in Leadership Development from Villanova University, where she graduated with many accolades in her 40’s! After conquering her personal battle to achieve wellness, Rebecca has recently added nutrition coaching to her 20-year repertoire. TWEET: “Ep 92 is all about #wellness and how to make it a way of life!” #RebeccaKayThompson “The Wellness Factor” Are you experiencing wellness? Of course, this can mean different things to different people. In addition, the motivation to pursue wellness takes many different forms. For Rebecca, it took losing her mother to pancreatic cancer in 2013, after watching a lifetime battle against wellness. Through chronic illness and countless medications, Rebecca watched her mom struggle and die “the slowest, most torturous death.” When she found herself falling into the same pattern, she put the brakes on her misery from being overweight, unhappy, and unwell. She gives us insight into the critical “Aha moment.” TWEET: “A #sanctuary day is taking the time to be #mindful about myself.” #RebeccaKayThompson “What the universe says to you . . .” Have you come home from a day’s work and simply felt unfulfilled? If this is a recurring feeling, then you may need to take the first step like Rebecca did. She said, “That’s it. I’m going to pursue my dream.” She tells of the many great things that have happened in her life since she changed her focus. A job to pay the bills isn’t the same as one that fulfills your passion and chases your dreams. Rebecca explains why you may need to rethink your college degree field, figure out the next step, and create the BEST version of yourself. TWEET: “When you’re #passionate about something, it will change the world.” #RebeccaKayThompson New Dreams? How many dreams can you chase at once? Can they change over time? The answers are that you can chase as many dreams as you want, and YES, they can change over time. For example, Rebecca wants to write a book someday; she also wants to be a hero. No one knows what the future holds or what opportunities may come, but remember this: multiple dreams ARE allowed and you ARE allowed to change them! TWEET: “When the #universe speaks to you, #LISTEN.” @RebeccaKayThompson Rebecca’s Recommended Action Step: “If you want to be a pig farmer, then call yourself a pig farmer!” Whatever it is that you want to be, create the best version of yourself and don’t forget to dress the part!

Take Away Quotes: “When the first Earth Day came along…my high school chemistry teacher asked if I would organize this event for the community. We really didn’t know what it was supposed to be about, but we knew it was intended to engage people and help them recognize the environmental issues that were so prominent at the time…The first Earth Day was just a great event in my life because it showed me how I could combine my passion for making a difference with my academic interests in science and biology.” “Water is the way that we experience weather, and weather is the way we experience climate change in our daily lives.” “Ultimately, the reason that we have a blue planet, the reason there is life on this planet is because of water. It is the fundamental reason for life.” “One of the things that is so important about small streams is that they are the head waters, they are the sources of our drinking water, and something like one-third of all Americans get their drinking water—it starts with these small streams.” Resources: Island Press Urban Resilience Project A Community Approach to Climate Resilience The Community Resilience Reader

Kari interviews friend, Featured Guest, and Runner of the Week, Rebecca Clark, with whom she ran the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon (first marathons for each). Kari and Rebecca share how they trained for this marathon amidst full-time jobs, family life, and friendship. Go-to, real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, shares her tip on what to do when you overbuy fruits and veggies. Featured Guest and Runner of the Week: Rebecca Clark Rebecca Clark explains how she trained for her first marathon with two kids (now she has five), while working full-time as an attorney and still spending quality time with her husband. She also chats about how her life has changed since then. Rebecca shares why she chose to run the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) with the Runner’s World Challenge (now called Runner’s World VIP). She explains how she transitioned from being an indoor treadmill runner at the gym to running outside. Rebecca ran her first 5K in March 2011, and she was hooked! She ran 5Ks and completed the 2011 Philadelphia Half Marathon. Next, she wanted to find a marathon that kept her motivated and moving forward. Her boss suggested the MCM. Rebecca explains why she still loves treadmill running, along with using the elliptical. She chats about how she got outside of her comfort zone and faced her challenges, like creating her own private law practice. She shares what she told herself to go outside in run versus the typical, “Oh I should probably clean the house. Oh, but the kids need me.” Rebecca was able to build her own schedule, having a private practice, but she explains how she tackled long runs on the weekend. She explains how she didn’t want her family to begrudge her long weekend runs and how she made the thought of the marathon exciting. Rebecca tells what she took away from the Runner’s World Kari and Rebecca recount the MCM experience and how they wanted to beat the 5:30 pacers. Kari talks about some key moments that happened along the course, like seeing Joe Taricani from The Marathon Show around Mile 3. Rebecca tells listeners what happened in 2014 that made her not run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. She chats about her total loss of identity and how she was physically and emotionally drained and how she got back to her “me time.” Rebecca talks about an overuse injury in her left knee once she got back to running. Kari and Rebecca talk about the post-race MCM party and the post-race “waddle.” They talk about the gift of running, how it changes you, and how it will hopefully always be there for you. Rebecca plans to run the Philadelphia Half Marathon on Saturday, November 19, 2016. The marathon is on Sunday, November 20. Kari wants to run the half marathon, but might run the Rothman Institute 8K on November 19 instead (she’s listening to her body and not her mind). There will be a TRLS meetup on Saturday, November 19. Mark your calendars, and more details to come! Kari sings the praises of the Galloway Method versus the Couch to 5K Serena Marie, RD Serena Marie, RD, offers a tip on what to do with extra fruits or vegetables when you get a little overzealous at her local farmer's market. Serena buys large freezer bags and puts green, leafy vegetables and fruits in them to freeze to use for green smoothies. She adds half coconut water, half regular water in her smoothies. Her favorite is cucumber, celery, spinach or kale, and a whole lemon. Check out Serena’s blog post titled, “Eight Tips to Eat More Veggies” for a recipe. For more of a dessert-type smoothie, try unsweetened coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, or yogurt with water and ice. Kari suggests that having a green smoothie with some protein in the morning would make a good breakfast. Serena mentions organic cheese sticks. Let us know what your tips and tricks are! Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Kari is grateful for her son’s favorite YouTube channel so that she could record with Serena. Serena is grateful for her local farmer’s market. She loves cherries, and tart cherries (or juice) are anti-inflammatory. Anything (like kale, spinach, or beets) that contain nitric oxide may help runners feel less fatigued (when you eat these foods on a regular basis) due to the vasodilation. Next week, Kari, Serena Marie, RD, and Joanne Ambrogi (from Episode 64: “The Power of Habit and the Need to Believe”) talk about the March Book Club book, Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being by Deepak Chopra MD, and Rudolph E.

Rebecca Hazelton is a licensed Nutritionist, Health Coach, Personal Trainer, and HeartMath Coach running her own consulting business since 2001. This week on Wellness Force Radio, we discuss her latest book, Pleasure Meditation: Your Guide to Joyful Stress Reduction. Since 2001, Rebecca has been working as a coach and consultant. Throughout her career, she's found that we all face a lack of tools for dealing with stress management. As a mom, Rebecca is passionate about teaching self-care, how to treat your body with love and respect, and has a nutrition license through AHSU with specialty certifications in Metabolic Typing Nutrition and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. Rebecca is also a certified Postural Alignment Specialist with the Egoscue University. Her first of two published books, Choosing Health: A One-Size- Doesn’t-Fit- All Guide to Diet, Exercise, & Motivation is a must-read for anyone interested in living a healthier lifestyle. Her new eBook Pleasure Meditation: Your Guide to Joyful Stress Reduction has just been released and is a simple 3-minute guide that teaches you exactly how to boost your feelings of pleasure AND melt away feelings of stress. Letting Go Of Stress Poor stress management and self-care can lead to other numerous health concerns including fatigue, gut health, thyroid problems, and hormonal imbalance. Stress can be so hard on the body; sometimes all you need to do is take a deep breath. But what about taking it further? Stress reduction tools like pleasure meditation can help you to respond to different situations, feel balanced, and experience joy each day. Today on the podcast, Rebecca shares her own story of experiencing stress and how her F.L.O.W. system of pleasure meditation has helped her to manage it and find greater happiness. F of F.L.O.W - Focus On Your Breathing Pleasure meditation can be very powerful and it's great for those who need it, but don't know where to begin with handling their own stress management. The F of Rebecca's F.L.O.W. system is to simply begin focusing on your breathing. Take a couple of breaths to feel present in the moment. During that time, find out where your breathing is coming from. If it's not coming from deep within, but rather from your neck and shoulders, you can be dealing with a great amount of stress. L of F.L.O.W - Let In Love And Let Stress Go To let love in and let stress go, you need to switch out stressed out hormones with beneficial hormones in your brain to help balance out that body. How can you do this? With the power of vision and memory. Let in love by thinking about a wonderful memory of when you felt love. It can be an experience from a recent interaction or pleasure from petting a cat or a dog. Allow yourself to remember and embrace those experiences of your life when you let love in in order to let your stress go. O of F.L.O.W - Open Up With Gratitude When you open yourself up to feel gratitude and to be thankful for what you have in your life, it's impossible to feel stressed out in that moment of time. Letting in feelings of love is unique to everyone because of all of our different experiences, but sometimes love itself cannot help us feel gratitude. Feeling gratitude is another layer that can help us to experience pleasure and joy. W of F.L.O.W - Wake Up Your Pleasure Awareness To free yourself of stress, try to see the world in new light by waking up your pleasure awareness. When you let in love, you experience gratitude and when you start to appreciate the little things in life, you can wake up your pleasure awareness. You may begin to see things differently than you ever could before. Maybe colors look brighter, the sun feels warmer, or nature seems more beautiful. With pleasure meditation, you're tapped in to feeling other feelings throughout the day. Think about having your feet on the ground in the moment, but your head in the clouds with other sensations. Understand Your Stress Better With HeartMath Coaching A HeartMath Coach can help you better understand the linking connection between how your heart rate and emotions can affect the amount of stress that you feel. Using the bio feedback device, baseline resilience, you can find out you're heart rate is at and whether you are stressed or not. Each person's baseline resilience number is different and it can help a person determine what causes great or little stress. With HeartMath Coaching, you can learn to empower your stress and react better to moments when the little things in life stress you out.

Subscribe to Earn Your Happy on iTunes. If you feel the need or calling to spend more time and connect with your soul, today’s heart-warming conversation with author and soulful teacher, Rebecca Campbell, is just the ticket. With an early fascination around the world of spirituality, souls and past lives, Rebecca had always felt a little “weird.” Not because she enjoyed these things, but because others were uncomfortable with it. And so from that young age, she seemingly led a double life – one that was “normal” with her school-aged friends and the other with a group of older, wise women who taught her about the healing arts and the power of intuitive arts. Rebecca always knew she wanted to create (writing, designing etc.), so following that path, she pursued the “normal” career in advertising. She had a very successful career as a creative director, but after experiencing a great period of loss, Rebecca knew she wanted to do more with all those little “soul whispers” that tugged at her heart. With the pipes and structures literally crumbling around her and navigating through her grief, Rebecca began to finally answer this calling and began to write what soon became her first book, Light Is the New Black, followed by Rise Sister Rise. She is grateful for all the life events that led her to where she is today and truly believes that this is the exact path she was meant to take. It is her hope that her story encourages you all to follow the “different path” if you feel so called – even if it happens in baby steps to reach your goals. “The dots always join in the end and nothing is ever wasted.” -- Questions Asked in This Episode • How did you get in touch with your inner wild woman to be who you are now? • Did you have to reframe while you were going through that journey? • What did surrendering to your soul look like? • Is there a way to answer the soul’s calling without hitting rock-bottom? • What do you say to someone who doesn’t know who they are? • How do you feel about women and sisterhood, and why is it important? • What do you when you feel like you’ve been put in a box as a “good girl?” • What has been the toughest thing you’ve had to let go of in order to step into your authentic self? In This Episode You Will Learn: • About the importance of listening to your head vs. your heart • How to develop a devotional and spiritual practice • How to surrender to your soul’s calling • Why you need to listen to your “soul whispers” and the importance of connecting to them • The commonalities between the seasons of life and nature • About doing work with other women in sync with monthly cycles • The importance of ancestral roots and why you must trust your own power/intuition • Why you don’t have to be a “good girl” • And so much more… Quotes: “Often our soul’s calling is scary, but it was more uncomfortable and scary to stay where I was than it was to throw my life up in the air.” “Sometimes rock-bottom moments are beautiful opportunities to just do it.” “Alright, soul, you’re running the shop now.” “The voice of our soul/intuition is the part of us that is linked to the entire universe.” “Follow what lights you up.” “When we’re inspired, when we’re lit up, we’re in our spirit and in that rhythmic flow and in that surrendered space.” “When we connect in with our spirit, then we don’t have to work out every step of the way – we just have to move our feet.” “In order for something to rise within us, something needs to fall away to clear that space.” “When things are blooming, it’s just as good as when the leaves are falling.” “If we’re trying to fit in a box, the people who ARE your people won’t be able to see you.” “Trust the wisdom of your soul.” -- Rebecca Campbell is a best-selling author, spiritual teacher, grounded spiritual mentor and soulful guide. Bestselling author of Light Is The New Black, Rebecca has guided thousands of women to listen to the callings of their soul and create a life that is completely aligned to them. Her second book is Rise Sister Rise. In 2015, she was awarded the ‘Promising New Talent’ award by the Mind Body Spirit Festival in London. In 2016 Rebecca received ‘Emerging Voice’ by Kindred Spirit Magazine and was honoured to receive the ‘100 Women of Spirit’ award by Dadi Janki of the Brahama Kumaris for feminine leadership and spiritual service. Drawing on her unique experience as an award-winning advertising creative director, Rebecca loves helping people tap into their creativity and lead from a place that is authentic and light up the world in a way that only they can.

I’m an INFJ creative and multipassionate who has a bit of a notebook and post-it note obsession, loves foot-stomping country music and likes her hot chocolate with way too much chocolate. I started Couragemakers because I wanted to create a platform for passionate and unconventional women to have honest conversations and to share their stories, struggles and dreams. The intention behind this podcast is to inspire and encourage creative and mission-driven women to live a wholehearted life and follow the beat of their drum. When I’m not recording episodes, writing bullshit-free, very vulnerable and encouraging Sunday emails to fellow couragemakers or making new friends with the wonderful guests, you can find me working on all manners of magic over at That Hummingbird Life.

You know it's a great conversation when it's really tough to put words to a) how much I enjoyed it and b) how much it meant to me personally. Rebecca Campbell is just fantastic. She's light, she's deep, she's real, she fun, and her spirituality is grounded - which you all know is really important in the #wildsoul world. We talk about the dance between softness and getting things done, being of service, having a mission and what it means to be a light worker. We get into mysticism and mystery, trust, surrender and unfolding. I know some of those terms sound vague, so we paid special attention to getting to the tangible roots of them and weaving the threads together. This is a "listen a few times" kind of episode. Enjoy!

“Where are we limiting ourselves? What are the lies that we have embraced because of our life circumstances or things that have happened that would keep us or hold us back from the fullness of identity that the Lord has for us?” –Rebecca Greenwood
From an early age, Rebecca Greenwood struggled with strongholds in her life: anger, depression and multiple fears. She feared authority figures, displeasing others, heights, the dark…even while she was a church youth leader and member of the worship team.
Through a process that she describes in this podcast, Rebecca learned how to break free from these strongholds through uncovering their root causes and allowing God to heal them. She shares how you can find freedom and lasting peace through this process, and help others to do the same.
“We will want in our personal lives to see God's kingdom extended wherever He has placed us…We can be totally bold and humble all at the same time.”-Rebecca Greenwood
You will learn:
How to identify the areas in your life where you are limiting yourself
How to uncover your own strongholds and their root causes
How to replace the lies about yourself that you have been believing with truths about who you were really created to be
How to retrain and renew your mind
Rebecca is co-founder and president of Christian Harvest International and Strategic Prayer Action Network (SPAN).
From the time she was young girl, Rebecca felt a drawing of the Lord that she would be used by Him. Her mother used to tell Rebecca she was blessed and her father loved to sing a son entitled Far Away Places to she and her sister when they were small girls. Little did her parents know they were speaking her destiny into her heart and mind even from the time she was a young child.
In a prayer time in 1990 she felt a strong presence of the Spirit in which she was overcome. During this time the Lord showed her a vision of thousands and thousands of souls from many nations. He challenged her saying, Becca, will you be accountable for the souls I have assigned to you? Will you reach them for Me? Her heart captivated by this experience, she seriously responded to the mandate of the Lord to the nations. Since this Kingdom encounter, her passion has been seeing the lands of the world impacted for the Glory of God and reaching people with the gospel and setting the captive free. Her heart cry has become, Lord give me the nations. . As a result, prophecy, prophetic intercession, transformational spiritual warfare prayer, spiritual mapping, deliverance and teaching the word of God extensively in the many lands of the earth are the main thrusts of Christian Harvest.
Over the past 22 years, she has participated and led in spiritual warfare prayer journeys to 25 countries such as Egypt, Nepal, Italy, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Ireland, Spain, China, and to many cities and locations throughout the United States in which measurable breakthrough of transformation have been realized.
Having a heart for lost souls, Rebecca has seen many saved and set free. She ministers in transparency from her personal experiences of overcoming fear, depression and rebellion into freedom. She is committed to equipping in scriptural truths on how to live an overcoming life of purpose, fulfillment and destiny. And to equip people and churches to have a Jesus captivated and authoritative prayer life in which change and transformation are realized.
While she loves to travel the world and partner with the Lord in touching people's lives, Rebecca's favorite and most cherished times are with her husband Greg and their three beautiful daughters: Kendall, Rebecca and Katie. They reside in Colorado Springs, CO and are members of Freedom Church.
Rebecca has been a guest on TBN, Its Supernatural, God Knows and the Harvest Show. She has written for publications such as Charisma, Pray! Magazine and Spirit-Led Woman. She graduated with a Doctorate of Practical Ministry from Wagner Leadership Institute where she also serves as a core faculty member.
She is the author of six books:
• Authority to Tread: An Intercessors Guide to Strategic-Level Spiritual Warfare
• Breaking the Bonds of Evil: How to Set People Free from Demonic Oppression
• The Power of a Godly Mother (ebook)
• Destined to Rule: Spiritual Strategies for Advancing the Kingdom of God
• Let Our Children Go: Steps to Free Your Child from Evil Influence and Demonic Harassment
• Your Kingdom Come: Encouraged to Intercede
• And was invited to partner with C. Peter Wagner in contributing to an Understanding Spiritual Warfare: Four Views. An academic book discussing four theological views of spiritual warfare which will be used in seminaries throughout the United States.
